All services will be down indefinitely. Reason: I am not migrating to South Africa but the major portion of the publisher M Shahruz Z Q's work will be South Africa and English oriented and I am also trying to learn some Afrikaans and so I need to comply with regulations there but I cannot meet them without a passport. Awami, Jatiyo Party and maybe Bangladesh Nationalist Party/BNP Jamaat staff still working in the passport offices including Uttara passport office deny to let me complete the passport formalities even though I have submitted the application online and have made all payments, which was difficult for a ordinary publisher like me, and visited them with all required documents. They do so indirectly such as keeping me waiting very long beyond appointed time, requiring me to get original copy of my NID instead of the photocopy even though during online application submission it was already verified once, and asking me to go outside to get copies of documents while it was raining. I have realized they didn't even want me to pay bribes to some unofficial agent because they were very specific and strict about what I should do (even though I was not among the socialist versus capitalist minded majority today who were involved during the July revolution due to my different belief). Now I will have to find some other way to proceed with my plans.
